In this Order, we grant authority to Lockheed Martin Corporation (Lockheed) to operate and launch a Radionavigation—Satellte Service (RNSS) space station‘ abourd Telesat Conada Corporation‘s (Telesat) ANIK—FIR satelite, separately lcensed by the Canadian Administration to be located at 107.3° W.L. Lockheed‘s proposed space station is a part of ts Regional Posiioning System (RPS). Grant ofthis application will allow Lockheed to provide valuable augmentation services to the existing US Global Positioning System: 1. BACKGROUND 2 In April 1999, Lockheed fild applications with the Commission for authority o launch and operate a global RNSS system, known as the Lockheed Martin Regional Positioning System (LM= RPS®)with satelites operatingat several orbital loctions, including 109° W.L.* Lockheed‘s April 1999 5 As used in this Order and Authorization,therm "spacestution"has the meaning given in thIterationl Telecommunication Union (TTU) Radio Reulations,e. one or more trnsmitrs, or reccivers or a combination of transmiters and receivers necessry for carying on a radiocommunication servic, and locted on an objectwhichis beyod. or is interded to o beyond. the major portion of the Earh‘s atmosphere.. e TTU Radio Regubtions Aicles L6l and 16 5 See Lockheed Martin Corp Applicaton for Authoriy to Launch and Operate a Global Syztem of Geostaionary Orbir Sarelltes in the Radionavigaton—SarelteService, Fle No. SAT—LOA—19990427—00046, fled Aprl27, 1999 (Lockheed Original Aprl 1999 Applicaton).

Telesat is Hicensed by the Canadian Administration to operatethe communications payload of ANIK—FIR in the C— and Ku—bands at 107.3° W.L, in addition to a tricking, telemetry and control (TT&C) payload.. In its February 2004 amendment, Lockheed revised its frequency request to the 6615.17—6635.67 Mz and 6666.20—6636—70 MH frequency bands for data uplinks from its feederlink earth stations. Additionaly, Lockheed confirmed that Telesatwould be performing the TT&C functions for the mancuering and maintenance of the ANIK—FIR satelite,including the Lockheed space sttion, and therefore, Loakheed is not requesting any spectrum for TT&C® ‘These amendments were placed on Public Notice," and no comments were received.

Federal Communications Commission ba os22 4. Lockheed indicates thatits proposed space station atthe 107.3° W.L. orbitl location (referred t as LM—RPS2) will operate in conjunction with and in full compatibility with the United States Global Positioning System (GPS), as part of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), to provide more accurate navigation information with high integrty, in particular for the aviation community."". The FAA WAAS system will provide GPS augmentaion messages to two of Lockheed‘s uplink earth stations,to be located within the United Sttes." These two eatth stations will uplink the augmentation messages to the LM—RPS2 space station using the 6615.17— 663567 MHz and 6666.20—6686.70 MHz frequency bands.". The received augmentation messages will then be transmitted in the downlink in the L—band. specifically in the 1166.20—1186.70 MHz and the 1565.17—1585.67 MHe frequency bands""to receive earth stations. These augmentation messages contain ertor comrection information that provides for differentil correction of the GPS receive signals, resulting in more accurate GPS navigation information. ‘This enhanced information will be used o improveairerit navigation, automated farming. mining operations, and other applicationsthat rely on precise position and navigation information." n addition, Lockheed requests a waiver ofthe bond requirement contained in Setion 25.165 of the Commission‘s rules.* i. piscussion A. Processing Procedure 5.. In the First Space Sation Reform Order, the Commission adopted various procedural reforms to expedite the sitelite licensing process." In revising the sitellte licensing rules, the Commission adapted two different liensing frameworks — a modified processing round approach for non—geostationary satelite orbit (NGSO)—like systems and a "firs—come, frst—served" procedure for geostationary satelite orbit (GSO)—like systems."" The Commission defined GSO—like satelitesystems as GSO satelites designed to operate with dirctional antennas."" Examples of the GSOJike satelte systems are those that use earth station antennas with direcivity towards the sateltes, such as fixed— satellte service (FSS) space stations, and mobile—satelite service (MSS) feeder links that use GSO satelites:" The Commission defined NGSOike satelite systems as NGSO satelite constllations and (..eontined from previous page) * See Lockeed Martin Corp, Amendment to Application for Authority to Launch and Operate a Global System of Geostationary Orbi Satelites in the RadionasigationSatelteServce, Fle No. SXT—AMD—20050210— 00036,ied Febriary 10, 2005 (Lockeed February 2005 Inerference Analysis Amendment). ® See Lockbeed February 2004 Amendment at 11 R h a12. 55 For purposes ofthis Ordertheterm "extended C:band."referto the 64256725 Mz frequency band. it For purposes othis Order, th term "Lband" refers t the 1550—1610 Mitz (L1 frequency band) and the 960—1215 Mite S frequency band) § See Lockhend Fobruary 2004 Amendment at 12. h See 47 CER 25 165 8 See Amendment othe Commision‘s Space Sation Licensing Rules and Policies, Fist Reportand Order and Further Notie ofProposed Rulemaking, 1B Docket No.02—34, 18 FCC Red 10760, 1077677 (ra. 7) (2003) (Firs Space Station Licensing Reform Order) * 14. at 10773 (par21) § #7 CBR$25.158(0) ® 47 CR§ 25158(; AlosSpace Starion Licensing Reform Order, 18 FCC Red at 10773 (pra. 21) 3

Federal Communications Commission na os2n GSO satelites communicating with omni—directional earth station antennas"". The Commission also noted that NGSOlike satelfte systems, unlike GSO—like satelitesystems, generally cannot operate on the same spectrum without causing unscceptable interference to each other."" Accordingly, the Commission concluded that a band segmentation approsch would be preferable for such applications becauseit would faciliate additional market entry." 6. In its original 1999 application and subsequent amendments, Lockheed requests suthority to utlize frequencies in the L—band and C—band spectrum for its proposed radionavigation satelite service. Specificall, Lockheed requests FSS spectium, the 6615.17—0635.67 MHz and 6666.20—6686.70 Mitz frequency bands for is feeder uplinks.®" In the FirsSpace Station Reform Order, the Commission adopted a firstcome, fis—served proceduze for applications for feeder links to GSO spacecrafts" Therefore, we conclude that this portion of Lockheeds application willbe considered a GSO—like satelite application and willbe processed under thfrst—come, fis—served rules. 7. Loakheed also requests authority to operat in the L—band (the 1166.20—1196.70 Mz and the 1565.17—1585.67 MHz frequency bands) for its service downlinks."_ Generlly, applications for servicelinks in GSO MSS systems are classified as "NGSOlike" and considered in modified processing rounds."" However, in our Order authorizing Lockheed to operate an RNSS payload on a satelite at the 133° W.L. orbital lcation, we recently found that Lockheeds proposed NGSO—like L—band operations warranted a waiver of the Commission‘s rules to allow us to consider that portion of tapplication on a firstcome, fit—served basis."‘This because Lockheed proposed to operate in the same portion of the L—band as the U.3. GPS system. and all such satelite systems must coordinate with and be compatible with the US. GPS system. Thus, band segmentation is not necessary to ensure that future applicants are able to operate in these frequency bands."" For the same reasons, we conclude that Lockheed‘s proposed L—band operations atthe 107.3° WL. orbit location also warrant a waiver of the Commission‘s rules to allow us to consider that application on firs—come, firstserved bass:® B.

Federal Communications Commission pa os2n 8. In considering an application to launch and operate a new satelite system, we must determine whether a grant will serve the public interest In making this determination, we consider whether the applicant is legally, tchnically, and otherwise qualiied to operate the satelite.. Since Lockheed‘s legal qualifcations are a matter of record. with the Commission,"" and no commenter questioned these qualifications, we find that Lockheed is legally qualiied to hold asatelite Tcense. 2. Hosted Payload Arrangement 9. LM.RPS2 will operate as a payload on Telesat‘s ANIK—FIR satelite, which is Hcensed by Canada.. Such arangements,although infrequently used, are not without precedent." We have exchanged letters with Industry Canada, the licensing administration for Telesat‘s ANIK FIR satellite,in order to ensure thatthere is a mutval understanding regarding the operations ofthe LM—RPS2 payload aboard Telesat‘s ANIK FIR satelite.. The understandings, and the factual background for these understandings, are provided as Appendix B, and are material considerations for the authorization contained in this Order.. We note that, pursiant to the understandings, the FCC will be the licensing administration for the L—band and the extended C:band faciliies(the LM—RPS2 payload) on board the ANIK—FIR satelite. Therefore, we will hold Lockheed responsible for all ts operations pursuant tothis suthorization. (a) Telemenry, Tracking and Command (TT&C) Arrangements 10. n its February 2004 amendment, Lockheed states that it is not seeking authority to operate TT&C frequencies. Lockheed further explains that Telesatwill contro the ANIK—FIR satelte via TT&C earth station facilities located in Canada, and will also provide certain services for the LM~ RPS2 payload under the diection and contral of Lockheed, under contract with Lockheed."" Therefore, we are not granting Lockheed authority to operate on any TT&C spectrum.. All TT&C transmissions shall be conducted by Telesat pursuant to its Canadian license. Lockheed, however, emains responsible as a licensee for ensuring compliance with the terms and conditions ofthis icense, and the Commission tules, including the Commission‘s station—keeping requirements 11. Although Telesat will be performing the TT&C operations of the LM—RPS2 space station, we require Hicensees to have the ability to cease operations, should they be required to do so." Based on Lockheed‘s Febrmary 2005 amendment, in which it describes the measures it will take to control its proposed RNSS payload abourd Telesat‘s ANIK—FIR satelite, we find that Lockheed will meatthis requirement.". Specificlly, Lockheed willhave the capability of "tarning off"the LM—RPS2 payload so that no radio emissions are generated by that payload. Lockheed and Telesat plan to design and implement a computer.based system to allow a "deactivation" commund to be sent from Lockheeds U.S. facilty to Telesat‘s Canadian facilties. This will force the automated deactivation of the LM—RPS2 * See Lockheed 133° WL Order t pora. 17. s See, eg. GTE Spacenet CorporationGeostar Corpontion, Memorandim.

Both partis have also agreed that,in the event that the LM—RPS2 payload has been deactivated through the use of this capability, Telesat wll not reactivate the LM—RPS2 payload until Telesat receives formal writen direction from Lockheed. Accordingly, we condition this authorization on Lockheed‘s abilty to send a deactivation command from its U.S. faciity to Telesa‘s Canadion facility. (b) Orbiral Debris Mitigation 12. As indicated in the exchange ofletters between the FCC and Industry Canada, Telesat shall dispose of the LM—RPS2 space station pursuant to its Canadian authorization and TTU—R Recommendation S.1003—1.We find that the requirements of Recommendation $.1003—1 are identical to the Commission‘s orbialdebrisrequirements. Accordingly, we conclude that Lockheed will comply with the Commission‘s end—olife disposal requirements. C. Technical Qualifications 1. Feeder Uplinks 13. Lockheed proposes to uplink augmentation messages"in the G615.17—6635.67 MHz and 6666.20—6686—70 MHz frequency, bands to the LM—RPS2 space station from two feeder uplink earth stations within the United States.* We consider Lockheed‘s proposed feeder uplinks as a Fixed Satelte Service (FSS), due to the fact that the uplink earth stations will be communicating with the LM—RPS2 space station from fixed points."" Lockheed‘s proposed frequencies are allocated to the Fixed Service (FS) and FSS (Barthto—space) on a primary basis and subject to footnotes 5.458 and US342 of the Table of Frequency Allocations.®. Below, we address these footnotes and other issues for these frequeney bands. (a) Protection of Passive Services in te 6425—7025 MH Frequency Band 14. Foomote 5458 indicates that, in the 6125—7075 MHz frequency band, passive sensors measurementsare carried out over the ocean and thatadministrations should bear in mind the needs ofthe Earth exploration—satelite (passive) and space research (passive) services in their future planning ofthe bands 6425—7025 MHz® Lockheed states that it will comply with all applicable domestic and intermational requirements in coortination of its system." Therefore, we remind Lockheed to bear in * See AppendixB e Augmentation messages refered o hee are messages that contain error correction information that provide for diffrental corectionsto the GPS receivesigals, resuling in more accurate GPS navigation nformation.

Federal Communications Commission pa ocz mind the needs of these services when designing and operating its LM—RPS2 system. (b) Protection of Radio Astronamy Service 15. Feomore US342 of tU.S. Table of Allocations sates that anyone operating a station in the 6650—6675.2 MHe frequency band shalltake all practicable steps to protect radio astronomy service from harmful iterference." We note that portions of Lockheed‘s proposed feeder uplink operations, specifically, the 6666.20—6675.20 MHz frequency band, fall within the band specified in this foommote: Lockheed states that it will comply with all applicable domestic and intemmational requirements in coontinating its system.® Therefore, we will require Lockheed to take all practicable steps to avoid causing harmfulinterference to theradio astronomy service in the 6650—6675.2 MHe frequency band. (e) Compliance with Commission Technical Requirements—Two Degree Spacing 16. The Commission‘s licensing policy for GSO satelites is predicated upon two—degree orbital spacing between satelites:® This policy permitsthe maximum use ofthe geostationary—satellte orbit. On June 16, 2004, the Commission issued a Public Notice in which the Commission provided clarifcation of Section 25.140(b)2) of the Commission‘s Rules, concemming space station application interference analysis requirements.". n the Public Notice,the Commission expressly stated thatSection 25.140(b)2) of the Commission‘s Rules applies to "alny gcostaionary satellite orbit space station application for operation in any FSS frequency band." Since Lockheed requested FSS allocated spectzum for its feeder uplinks, we found that this request rendered this rule applicable to Lockheed‘s LM= RPS2application.. On January 26, 2005, we requested that Lockheed provide an interference analysis pursuant to the Pablic Notice." 17. On Febrmary 10, 2005, Lockheed amended its application to provide the requested interference analysis®. We find that this analysis conforms to the interference analysis rule and that Lockheed‘s proposed feeder link operations comply with our two—degree spacing requirements. We also conclude that granting Lockheed‘s LM—RPS2 application will not result in harmful iterference to any previously censed satelite. 2. Radionavigation—Satelite Service Downlinks 18. Lockheed requests authority to operate its service downlinks in the 1166.20—1186.70 MHz and the 1565.17—1585.67 MHz frequency bands.

However, the 1166.20—1186,70 MHz frequency band is subject to footmote US385®. and ITU—R Resolution 609 (Resolution 609).° Below, we address this footore, Resolution 609, and protectionof the Global Positioning System (GPS)." (a) Protection of Aeronautical Radionavigation Service in the 11641215 MHz Frequency Band 19. Within the United States, footnote US365 of the US. Table of Frequency Allocations requires that radionavigation—sstelite services operating in the 1164—1215 Mz frequency band stall not eause harmful interference to, nor claim protection from, stations of the aeronautical radionavigation service." Therefore, Lockheed may not to cause harmful iterference to, nor claim protection from, stations operating in the acronautical radionavigation service. 20. Intermationally, the 1164—1215. MHz frequency. band. is allocated. o. both the radionavigation—satelite service (RNSS) and the neronsutical radionavigation service (ARNS), on a primary basi, subject to Resolution 609. Resolution 609 requires that the equivalent power flux density (epfd) produced by all RNSS space stations operating in the 1164—1215 MH frequency band, shall not exceed the ageregate epfd level of —121.5 dB(W/m*)in any 1 megahertz band for all angles of elevation. The resolution further states that, in order to achieve this objective, administrations operating or planning to operate RNSS systems shall agree cooperatively, through consultation meetings, t equitable shared ageregate epid. 21. We note that to date, there have beenthree such consultation mectings and Lockheed has porticipated in all three of these mectings for ts RNSS system operating in the 1164—1215 MHz band on behalf of the U.S. Adiministation.. In the Report of the Third Resolution 609 Consulation Meeting, it was concluded that, to dat, all systems operatingor planning to operate in the 1164—1215 Mtz frequency band, including the LM—RPS2 space station, cllectvely have not exceeded the —121.5 dB(W/m®) in any 1 erte bandwidth.". Lockheed states that it willcomply with all applicable domestic and intemational requirements required for coontination of its system, as well as comply fully, to the extent applicable, with the consultation requirements of Resolution 609." Therefore, as part of its consuluation requirements under Resolution 609, we will require Lockheed to continue to participate in these consultation meetings and coordinate with other RNSS operators. Additionally, we will equire Lockheed to report the resuls of these consultation meetings to the Commission within thinty days afer the conclusion of the mestings. * See 47 CFR§2.106, US Tabl of Frequency Allocations, footmote US365. 2 See TTU—R Ratio Regulaton, Resolution 609 (Resoluton 609) * A number of commenters took iswith Lockeeds original L—band frequency band requests See Giobalstar Commens at 2; Boeing Pettion at 2; PanAmSat Petion at 2.

Federal Communications Commission pa oc (b) Protection of U.S. Global Posiioning System (GPS) 22. We note thatthe US. GPS system uses the same frequenciesthat Lockheed is requesting for its LM—RPS2 space station downlinks. Specifically, these frequencies include the 1166.20—1186.70 MHtz and the 1565.17—1585.67 MH frequency bands. We recognize that the U.S. GPS system provides service of national importance to the U.S. Government,including the miliary, businesses and civilins Therefore, we find that it is crtieal that Lockheed‘s space staion operations do not cause harmful interference to the operations of the U.S. GPS system. In its application, Lockheed assured the Commission that it would not cause harmful interference to the U.S. GPS system. Specificaly, Lockheed maintained that ts LM—RPS2 space station will operate in conjunction with and in full compatibility with the US. GPS system" Lockheed further assured that it uilize similar signal structure and architecture to the U.3. GPS system (%e. Code Division Multile Access (CDMA)) in order to achieve maximum compatibiliy. Previously, the Commission has acknowledged that systems using CDMA architecture may be able to share the same spectrum, through coordination, without causing harmful interference to each other." 23. Based on the result of the Third Resolution 609 Consultation Mecting, which include the LM—RPS2 space station and the U.S. GPS system, we find that both of these systems have complied with thisresolution." Therefore we conclude that the Lockheed LM—RPS2 space station operations will be compatible with and therefore will be able to share the L—band spectrum with the U.S. GPS system without causing harmful interference.". Nevertheless, we will require Lockheed to coordinate with the operator(s) ofthe U.S. GPS system in order to ensure maximum compatiblity and to avoid causing any harmfulinterference tothe acronautical radionavigation service and the U.S. GPS system. In the event of any interference, either from complaints received or its own observation, we will require Lockheed to immediately cease all operations and remedy the interference. Lockheedwill also be required to inform the Commission within three days of such occurrence(s) explaining the specific measures taken to mitiate th interference. D. Milestones 24. In the First Space Sution Licensing Reform Order, the Commission, noting. that milestones are intended to ensure that lcensees provide service to the public in a timely manner and do not warchouse searce orbit and spectrum resources, codifie its milestone policy in Section 25.164 of its rules.". Consistent with this, we require that Lockheed execute a binding contractfor construction of ts LM—RPS2 space station within one year of this grant, complete the Critial Design Review within two years, commence physical construction within three years, and launch and begin operations within five yoars.

Federal Communications Commission pa os22 1. Background 25. In its First Space Station Licensing Reform Order, the Commission eliminated the financial requirements then in place and replaced them with a bond requirement®. Under this bond requirement, any entity awarded a license for a GSO satellte must execute a payment bond. payable to the US. Treasury, within 30 days of the date of the lcense grant. "The bond is payable upon falureto meet any implementation milestone in the license, where adequate justification for extending that milestone is not provided." Licensees may reduce the amount of the bond upon meeting each milestone.® 2. Timing of Application 26. Lockheed requests a waiver of the bond requirement. Lockheed asserts that this requirement is ntended to deter th filing of speculative applications by establishing significant financial consequences for liensees that fail to proceed with their applicants in a timely manner.®. Lockheed furher claims that iss RPS applieations were filed more than four years before this requirement became effective and it is not clear whether it is approprite for the Commission to enforce this cost upon applicants that submited applieations without notice thatsuch additional financial requirements might be imposed 27. We disagrec with Lockheed. In the First Space Station Reform Order,the Commission clearly stated ts intention to apply the new rulesto pending applictions." ‘The Commission noted that "applying new procedures to pending satelte applications would not impair the rightsthat any applicant possessed when it filed ts application, nor impose any new duty with respect to a transaction already completed."*" Additionally, in the Fifh Space Starion Reform Order, the Commission reaffirmed that the "bond requirement appliesto all licenses granted aftethe requirement took effect, regardless of when the application for ach of those licenses was filed.""" 3, Public Safety 28. Lockheed also requests a waiver ofthe bond requirement based on ts intention to provide "public safetyservices." In its Arsr Space Staion Licensing Reform Order, the Commission stated thatit would entertain requestsfor complete or partal waivers of this bond requirement,"for satellte operators # td at 10826 (pare.170) * ul * 1d.at 1082627 (por. 172) # See Lockbeed February 2004 Amendment at 17. * s 5 See FirstSpaceStaion Licensing Reform Order, 18 BCC Red at 10820 ora 275) 90 iar 1021 (pun 27778 4 See Amendment of the Commission‘s Space Suation Licensing Rules and Polices, Fist Order on Reconsideration and Fifh Report and Order, TB Docket No02—34, 19 FCC Red 12637, 126664 (pares. 71—72) (2003) (FithSpace Staion ReformOrder}. In his Report and Order, he Commission also addressed arguments similar t the ones Lockheed raised in its February 2004 Amendment.. Specificall, the Commission reected Northrop Grumman‘s argument that some parties that have prosecuted thir application for years mould now be *pendized" bya bond requrement.

Federal Communications Commission pa os2n proposing satelites designed to provide public safty services."" Lockheed argues that ts RPS space station will provide crtial air navigation information through augmentation of the U.S. GPS system, enhancing the safey of the U.S. airtriffc control system* 29. In the FirstSpace Station Licensing Reform Order, the Commission noted that it would consider things such as public safety intentin deciding whether to waive the bond requirement. Later, in the MSV Order, the Bureau defined "public safety services" for these purposes as services in which "he sole or principal purpose ... is tprotectthe saféty of life, health, or property, that are provided by . governmental entiiesor by nongovemmental organizations that are authorized by a governmental entity whose primary mission is the provision of such services and thatare not made commercially available to the public by the provider.""" ‘The Bureau further explained that, in assessing "public safety intent," it would determine whether the proposed satelie is wholly or partilly designed for the specific purpose of providing publi safety services." 30. In the MSV Order, the applicant requested a bond waiver, asserting that a "push o talk" feature on its handsets had proven useful in coordinating rescue effons.". The Bureau found MSV had fallen short othe public safety ntent needed fo a bond waiver because MSV‘s application revealed that the primary purpose for the "push to talk" feature was to allow MSV to compete in the marketplace beter.* The Bureau also noted that all MSS systems are inherently useful in providing public safety service because the user terminals are small and transportable, and so applicants must provide more to demonstrate a "public iterest intent" that would warrant a bond waiver." 31. In making a public interest benefit assessment, we look to see if Lockheed in its application expressed the requisite "public safety intent" for ts proposed service. We find here that Lockheed‘s bond waiver request is substantiallysimilar to the request that was denied in the ASV Order. Lockheed explains that, while its proposed LMRPS system will be used to ensure the transmission of more precise information for aireraft navigation, it will also be used to provide automated furming, mining operations and other applications that rely on navigation and positonal precision." Thus, although Lockheed‘s RNSS service will be inherently useful for aieraft mavigation, it will also be used to provide other commercil services that are not primarily for public safety. Therefore, though we find that these commercial services would furthe the public interest, we do not conclude thatty fall under the limted eategory of "public safety services" that would justify waiver of the bond requirement. Therefor, we deny Lockheed‘swaiver request and require Lockheed to post a $3 millon bond within 30 days of the release of this Order.. If Lockheed does not submit this bond by the required date, his authorization shall be null and void. C See Firt Space Station Licensing Reform Order, 18 FCC Red at 10628 (pora. 169.
